Some Shots of Stoke Rochford

[GB72]

Having been away all weekend, my only chance to get around in was at 3.00 after the second round of the women's club championship had teed off. I knew it was going to be a slow round so, rather than get frustrated and inspired by this new section I took my camera.

The 17th Green (par 3) with Stoke Rochford Hall in the background

The 17th from the tee

The 15th Green with Hall in the background

View from the 15th Tee to the Green

The 14th Green, a very long par 4 where a 5 is a good score

The view from the 14th Tee, a good drive. The green is a dogleg round to the right but eve a good drive leaves me a Sunday best 3 wood to get anywhere near the green

The view from the whites on the 13th Tee. The green is just in front of the far trees but that gap to drive through is even narrower in reality.

The most welcome view on the course, the sight of the half way hut at the back of the 10th green.

A view to the par 3 12th with the Hall in the background. All of my 2s this year have been on this hole

The view from the 9th tee. A dogleg right where a good strike will leave me up by the marker post with about 150 to the flag.

My Nemesis, the par 3 6th. 190 of carry to a raised green. There is a pond just out of view to the left.

The 1st green taken from the second tee

The 1st hole The fairway slopes left to right so anything not well positioned rolls behind the trees to the right

Apologies for the number and quality of shots

Great pics Greg. Looks nothing like I remember it! Oh well, that just gives me an excuse to gamble with my life crossing the A1 to have another round.

You are welcome any time. The course is in the best condition I have known it to be in at the moment. The new chap running the greens committee has done wonders.

And there is a flyover just up the A1 at Colsterworth now so no need to gamble pulling a u turn on the A1.

Actually yes, that flyover has been great and would probably be the way I come in down the highdyke and out to the A1.

Are you free on Bank Holiday Saturday (original scheduled Belton Woods day! )..

I'm up and would be up for a morning round.

 

[GB72]

Think that there is a comp that day so chances are I will be in that. Will let you know if not.

I'm clearly destined to NOT play golf on Bank Holiday weekend!

 

[GB72]

I can possibly play on the Sunday. There is a medal on but I could skip that. Would need to be morning though as planning a barbecue in the afternoon. Cannot be the Monday as it is the mixed open and course is closed for that.

Another view of Stoke Rochford.
From the 2nd this time.
No prizes for guessing who the golfer is. He's probably on his way to another 42 points

That was news to me, any idea when it is starting up. Will be good to meet up and play another course.

I am the last to find out these things. Viscount found out that we have a reciprocal deal to play free at Abbotsley that I never knew about either.

 

[Evesdad]

Got an email from the club saying it starts on Monday! We've just added Kettering too so it's about 4 clubs we have the deal with now!

 

[GB72]

Liking the look of your place as well, will get some more details up the club at the weekend. If this is up and running, then I may look to head over on Bank Holiday monday as Stoke is closed most of the day for the mixed open.

 

[Evesdad]

Sorry been away for weekend, I'm up my club on Friday so will check as I think the deal is for certain days etc but think you should be okay, not sure if I'm free so will let you know.
